Definitions

  • This invention relates to a separator of items of the cylindrical bottle type arranged in a box for transportation, where the separator prevents the contact and optimizes the separation between them both in longitudinal and transverse direction and it is applicable for cylindrical bottles of different size and form.
  • This invention also relates to a cardboard template to form the separator of items of the bottle type.
  • Separators are used inside of boxes or containers in order to generate separate cavities to isolate the objects contained each other, avoiding contact between them, especially when they are made of a material subject to breaking and a package is needed capable of protecting the bottles by preventing direct contact between them, so that to avoid possible impacts and scratches that can also damage labels, with the resulting loss of quality for the product.
  • bottles for wine can be of different type, such as bottles of straight body, inverted cone body or the so-called Burgundy type, which are bottles with a rather straight bottom area with a wide shoulder area upwards. Additionally, among these types of bottles there is great variety regarding size, both in height and in diameter, so that separators already developed are not always useful for this kind of bottles.
  • separators Although some separators have been designed that could be useful for a wide range of bottles, these separators normally have many parts or foils of materials of height weight in grams, which involve high costs in material and production.
  • An example of these separators is the spacer described in the Argentinean priority patent document AR050390, Lattanzi, published on 10/25/2006, which is made up by two or three rectangular plates joint each other by a vertical adhesive strip, where the external plates cover the sides of bottles protecting them against impacts.
  • this separator could be applied to different types and sizes of bottles, but with the drawback of not being cheap to produce, because it is not only made of three sheets, but irregular in the protection it provides, because the bottles located in the center are separated by three sheets of material, while the bottles on the sides are separated by only one sheet. In the embodiment of two sheets, this would be useful only for three bottles arranged on one side of the separator, with a second separator being necessary in order to separate bottles in boxes of six units, because six is the usual number of bottles arranged in export boxes.
  • separators are of the bellows type, where bands of material are folded and joined fixedly, generating containing cavities, such as those described in documents US4096984, Gardner or in US3301460, Harrison .
  • the main disadvantage of these separators is the amount of material used and the little flexibility they provide to be used in any kind of sizes of bottles, because their cavities have a fixed size.
  • these separators are normally of a high weight in grams, i.e. above 300 g/m2 and up to 500 g/m2, which make the cost of the separator more expensive and can affect the flexibility that is sometimes necessary for their flaps and pivot line.
  • this invention overcomes the problems of the state of the art by providing a separator for cylindrical bottles formed from a cardboard template, which has a simple shape, of low cost, easy to install and which form allows optimizing the separation between bottles in all directions of the separator and when applied in a wide range of forms and sizes of bottles, preferably wine bottles.
  • the complexity is given because the most used are normally of several types; for example, some of them have a straight cylindrical body (from the base to the shoulder of the bottle), i.e. in the whole height of the body it has the same diameter. Also one of the most used are those with inverted cone form, where the diameter in the bottle shoulder is greater than the base diameter.
  • Burgundy which have a lower area which is normally straight or slightly conic, and one portion of the shoulder which is clearly longer and merges with the bottle neck area.
  • inverted cone bottles there are also different sizes, where the greater diameter, i.e. the most important one, because it is there where bottles touch each other, can be between 77.6 mm and 86.7 mm for the greatest bottles. As to their height from the bottom to the shoulder, they have between 175.7 mm and 201.6 mm. In this case, the critical point of contact of bottles is the area of greater diameter, which is located at the upper end of the body, which coincides with the shoulder.
  • This invention relates to a separator of items, specifically for cylindrical bottles.
  • the main purpose of this is to provide a separator of bottles arranged in a box for their transport, ordered in two parallel rows of three bottles each, where the separator prevents contact between them both in longitudinal (the two parallel rows) and transverse (bottles in the same row) direction.
  • Yet another objective of the present invention is to provide a separator of bottles with pivoting flaps having portions or bands of proper width and length to protect a wide range of bottles.
  • Another objective of the present invention is to provide a separator of bottles with flaps of proper size, which prevents its easy breaking due to manipulation.
  • Even another objective of the present invention is to provide a separator of bottles with areas of material of proper thickness in order to protect and prevent contact between the two rows of bottles.
  • An additional objective is to provide a separator easy to insert between bottles, which allows its introduction in any vertical direction, so that the operator should not think or decide which direction to select.
  • Another objective of the present invention is to provide a separator of bottles of a resistant and flexible material, so that the flaps may fold easily and bend surrounding the bottles.
  • Another objective of the present invention is to provide a cardboard template to form a separator of bottles meeting the objectives mentioned above.
  • the invention first proposes a separator that can be formed by two sheets morphologically different each other or by two morphologically equal sheets each other, which are arranged parallel and which can generate a single one-part template than can fold over around a central transverse folding line or may be made up by two independent sheets joined through adhesive areas arranged in its opposing faces, where the separator has flaps of two types, with some of them in one of the sheets and the other type of flap in the counter-sheet.
  • the separator can be manufactured of any kind of cellulosic laminated material of the cardboard or plastic type, with a weight in grams not exceeding 350 g/m2. Thus, a sufficiently resistant and light separator can be obtained, but also flexible and of proper thickness to produce enough separation between bottles.
  • the separator is comprised of longitudinal partitioning and a set of vertical flaps, wherein the longitudinal partitioning is made by two parallel sheets and separates the two parallel rows, while the set of vertical flaps is generated by cutting lines and vertical folding lines on the sheets, wherein these flaps, by deploying outwardly, prevent the lateral contact of the bottles in the same row.
  • each sheet making up the partitioning comprises a partition wall and two vertical flaps, which are symmetrical and equidistant each other according to an imaginary vertical central axis. Said flaps are in turn made up by two adjacent vertical portions, one distal portion and one proximal portion.
  • each sheet has a different configuration, wherein the first sheet has lateral flaps with a centered cutting line half height of the sheet, so that said foldable flaps may pivot in two vertical folding lines, each one located at the upper and lower ends of the sheet, while in a second sheet that is part of the separator, the side flaps have two cutting lines, each located at the upper and lower end of the sheet, so that said foldable flaps may pivot on a vertical folding line centered according to the height of the sheet.
  • Flaps are located on the side edges of the sheets, where the flap of a sheet has a common vertical pivot with the flap of the opposing sheet and unfolds to each side of the partition wall around said vertical folding lines.
  • said folding flaps are vertically aligned in the same axis and each one has a height that is approximately equivalent to a fourth of the sheet's total height, while the folding lines of each flap are laterally displaced to each end of the partition wall in relation to an imaginary plane going through the bottles of the same row and touching the partition wall perpendicularly.
  • the folding lines have a height approximately comprising the central third portion of the sheet's height and are laterally displaced to each end in relation to an imaginary plane going through the bottle in the same row and touching the partition wall perpendicularly.
  • this lateral displacement of the folding lines is equal to a fourth diameter of the average bottle and when the separator is installed between the bottles, this generates the bending of the flaps and in order to surround the inside quadrant of the lateral bottles' perimeter, shortening the distance between the partition wall and the distal portion of each flap, making said distal portion to become close to the partition wall's central area and being located between the bottles of the same row and prevents the lateral contact between them just at the height of the tangency line between bottles.
  • the body of the partition wall has a total width of at least two diameters and a half of the average bottle and a height covering from the bottom of the bottle to at least 6 mm above the shoulder of the tallest bottles.
  • the partition wall comprises separating vertical laterally-projecting portions generated by a central cutting line, where said separating portions are located in the middle area of height of the partition wall, and have a width corresponding to half the diameter of the bottle and a height above a third of the partition wall's height.
  • the partition wall has upper and lower separating portions projecting from the side edges, which are generated by horizontal tilted cutting lines followed by vertical cutting lines practiced in the four vertexes of the partition wall, wherein said separating portions have a width corresponding to half the diameter of the average bottle and a height of at least one third the height of the partition wall, with these portions acting to prevent the contact between the bottles of the ends of the opposing rows.
  • the two opposing rows of bottles are separated by the area of the partition wall of each sheet and by the upper and lower separating portions of the second sheet together with the central separating portion of the first sheet that covers the vertically cut area of the second sheet.
  • the central bottles of each opposing row are separated by the central area of the partition wall and the side bottles of each opposing row are separated by the set of side separating portions of each sheet, where the separating portions of the first sheet cover the mid area of the separator's total height in its side edges, and the upper and lower separating portions of the second sheet cover the upper and lower area of the separator's total height in the same side edges of the partition wall.
  • a vertical continuous surface is formed in the side ends of the separator preventing the contact between the bottles located on each side of the ends thereof, regardless of its size, type and form.
  • the flaps of both sheets unfold from the ends of the partition wall to the center, so that the bottles of the ends push the flaps contrary to the closing direction thereof, thus generating a greater force of pressure from the flap against the central bottle and thus providing a greater separation area among the bottles located in the same line.
  • the distal portion of the flaps has a width at least one third the diameter of the average bottle and a height equivalent to the partition wall's total height. This provides a separator that covers the body height of all possible bottles totally and thanks to the width being at least one third the diameter of the bottles, it also ensures that whichever the size of the bottle, there always will be a portion of the separator preventing the contact of adjacent bottles in the same row.
  • This margin increased both for height and width of distal portions ensures the lateral protection of the bottles in the same row, especially because the flaps of the separator are not of double sheet as the partition wall, but of only one sheet.
  • the proximal portion of the flaps is the portion located between the distal portion and the vertical folding line, from which the flap emerges, with a width equivalent to half the diameter of the average bottle, and in the case of the second sheet a height not greater than two quarters of the partition wall's height, while in the first sheet, each folding line has a height not greater than one fourth of the total partition wall's height.
  • the proximal portion's height allows the flap to easily bend surrounding the bottles, while its width is the result of the width required for the upper and lower separating portions of the partition wall, so that when being bent and surrounding the bottles, the distance of the distal portion becomes shorter in relation to the partition wall.
  • the vertical folding lines are parallel each other and are separated each other by a lateral distance between them equal to one diameter and a half an average bottle.
  • the horizontal sections of the cutting lines that generate each flap have an inclination and a joining vertex with the vertical section of said cutting lines, which is rounded, wherein this characteristic is useful in such a way that when the separator is inserted between the bottles, the edges do not tear the labels of the bottles, because when inserting the separator, this is introduced vertically downstream and when the separators are straight, they impact the edges of the labels in a parallel way and damage said labels. When they are instead cut in an inclined and rounded way, the impact with the label is no longer parallel, preventing the labels from being torn and detached.
  • the proximal portion of the flaps bends surrounding the lower quadrant of the applicable lateral bottle's perimeter, and the distal portion remains in the contact point of the perimeter of the adjacent bottles in the same row, while in the opposing rows of bottles, they are longitudinally separated by the partition wall, where the central bottles are separated each other by the central area of the partition wall, which is fully flat and comprises the total height of the partition wall, while the lateral bottles of each opposing row are separated each other by the set of upper and lower separating portions of the second sheet and by the central separating portion of the first sheet remaining between the first two portions.
  • the invention is associated with a cardboard template to form the separator of items of the bottle type described above, which comprises a foil where the four flaps are configured with each comprising a distal portion and a proximal portion, wherein each flap is configured by cutting lines and vertical folding lines, with the vertical folding lines being located in the longitudinal direction of the foil and displaced to a respective imaginary plane in an equidistant way, thus forming a displacement which is equal to about a fourth the diameter of a bottle.
  • the template comprises a central transverse folding ridge along the foil, which in turn comprises a central weakened section and two lateral cut sections, thus generating the foil to be made up by two sheets joined in said common central folding ridge.
  • the first sheet has four folding lines, two of them aligned in the same pivoting axis from which a flap is born, and the other two aligned in a different pivoting axis, but parallel to the first one, where the other flap is born from the same sheet.
  • the second sheet of the template shows two folding lines from which the respective flaps are born, with the folding lines being located in the mid section of height of the sheet and are, each of them, in turn aligned with each pivoting axis of the first sheet's flap, with a special separation between them which is equal to one diameter and a half of a bottle.
  • the partition wall of the first sheet and the partition wall of the second sheet have a greater width which is equal to at least two diameters and a half of the bottle and total height that covers from the bottom to the bottle's shoulder.
  • the partition wall of the first sheet comprises vertical separating portions laterally projected and located in the mid area of the partition wall's height, generated by a cutting line, where said separating portions have a width corresponding to half the diameter of the bottle and a height above one third of the partition wall's height.
  • the cutting lines of the first sheet are formed by a central vertical, parallel section displaced outwards the vertical folding line, followed in both ends by inclined horizontal, converging each other sections, which end when finding the vertical folding line.
  • the partition wall of the second sheet comprises upper and lower separating portions generated by cutting lines, where said separating portion have a width corresponding to half the diameter of the bottle and its height is at least one fourth the height of the partition wall.
  • the cutting lines of the second sheet are each formed by a vertical, parallel section displaced outwards the vertical folding line and a horizontal inclined section, which end when finding the vertical folding line.
  • the distal portion of the flaps of the second sheet has a width at least one third the diameter of the average bottle and a height equivalent to the partition wall's total height, while the proximal portion has a width equivalent to half the diameter of bottles and a height not greater one third the partition wall's height.
  • the distal portion of the flaps of the first sheet has a width at least one third the diameter of the average bottle and a height equivalent to the partition wall's total height, while the proximal portion has a width equivalent to half the diameter of bottles and a height not greater one third the partition wall's height.
  • the vertical folding lines of the first sheet are parallel and separated each other by a distance equal to one diameter and a half of bottles.
  • the vertical folding lines of the second sheet are parallel and separated each other by a distance equal to one diameter and a half of bottles.
  • the common folding ridge has a central weakened joining portion between both sheets, which width is equal to the separation width between vertical folding lines in both sheets.
  • this is made up by a foil folding in two equal sheets, unlike the other type of template with is made up by two different sheets.
  • the equal sheets correspond to the second sheet described in the first kind of template.
  • the template comprises one single foil folded in two sheets joined around the central transverse folding line or ridge, which fold around said folding line in order to form a one single part separator of items of the bottle kind.
  • the template comprises two independent sheets joining each other in a parallel way, and it can be fixed through adhesive lines placed on the opposing faces between the sheets.
  • the separator can be applied to twelve-bottle packs ordered in four rows of three bottles each, where the two central rows are separated each other by the normal configuration of the separator, while the rows of each end are separated from the two central ones by the alternative configuration of the separator, where the latter is conceived by independent sheets, placing each sheet separately between one end row and one central row.
